Wow, just a wonderful collection. I agree with the earlier post that the entire set would make a great book

Is this true that all these buildings, still exist after going through so much devastation.
well its truely a good post.

There are no pictures to be seen on this page

the photos aren't loading on my computer. on my friend's are though.. why? i have flash java etc..

amazing... the community keep the buildings almost as it was in 1944

works for me ... u r do it wrong :D

not showing any pics too...(ffox 3.5)

Amazing, stumbled and bookmarked... agree with everybody else would make a great addition to a book

Really stunning how they have repair what would today be damage fit only for demolition. Btw, I recognise a lot of the places as landmarks in WWII first person shooter games.

What a great idea to put a set of pictures like that together.
Amazing to see the difference...but yet the same.

Amazing! Interesting to compare old with new pics.

A really interesting and worthwhile project. Its other great relevance, beyond that of the overshadowing war, is the patchiness of progress. Many of the grand buildings have been painstakingly repaired and restored, as have even the old German bunkers. But note how, in general, old trees and parks have disappeared and been replaced by bitumen and concrete pavements and rows of parked or waiting cars. And what happened to the statues of the saints in the old church? Note also that in many cases, rough textured buildings and stone walls whose charm and feeling of great time have been replaced by bland concrete or smoothed-over facades.

Where are the photos?

Yeah... it just says the title 204 times.
